Add a widget to a Notion page
- Make the widget above and tap Link for Notion.
- In Notion, on an empty line, type /embed and press Enter.
- Paste the link and click Embed link.
- Drag the bars on the sides and the bottom of the block to give it the size you want. The digits adjust.
If you paste the link on an empty line instead, Notion offers a small menu: choose Embed (not Bookmark or Mention).
Colors for light and dark mode
A widget with a colored background looks the same in light and dark mode. With no background, the text color matters: pick black, no background for a page in light mode and white, no background for dark mode. Notion adds its own rounded frame around embeds.
Ideas for a Notion dashboard
| Widget | Use |
|---|---|
| Clock for each teammate’s city | A team page where everyone sees who is awake |
| Countdown to an exam or a deadline | A study planner or a project board |
| Countdown to a trip | A travel page, with the departure time in the local time zone |
| 25 minute timer | A focus session next to your task list |
Embeds also show in the Notion apps on phones and tablets. They load when the page opens, so a page with many widgets takes a little longer to appear. For a single page that shows many cities at once, open the world clock instead.
